Answer:
C. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Find x by applying the leg rule.
The leg rule is given as:
Hypotenuse/leg = leg/part
Hypotenuse = 24
Leg = 17
Part = x
Plug in the value into the equation:
24/17 = 17/x
Cross multiply
24*x = 17*17
24x = 289
x = 289/24
x = 12.0416667 ≈ 12 (nearest tenth)
I would easily recommend to convert these to decimals. If you don't know how you should search it up or ask a teacher/friend. Convert 2 3/4 to .75, and then 2 1/2 is 2.50. Add 2.75 twice because he is making 2 dozen each (and a half) equals 11. Then multiply the 2.75 by .50 (6 muffins). That is 1.375. Add 11 and 1.375 equals 12.375. I'm not 100 percent sure this is correct but I hope it helps. :)
Answer:
<u>11</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is the average. To find the average, add up all the numbers, then divide by the amount of numbers there are. 13 + 5 + 11 + 8 + 14 + 15 = 66. There are 6 numbers. 66 divided by 6 = <u>11.</u>
Answer:
The correct answer is $16500 and $ 10000 each in two accounts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Samantha invests a total of $26,500 in two accounts.
Let Samantha invest $x in one account and $(26500 - x) in the other account.
The first account earned a rate of return of 14% (after a year).
Return earned = 14% of x
The second account suffered a 4% loss in the same time period.
Loss suffered = 4% of (26500 - x)
At the end of one year, the total amount of money gained was $1,910.00.
Therefore 14% of x - 4 % of (26500 - x) = 1910
⇒ 0.14x - 1060 + 0.04x = 1910
⇒ 0.18x = 2970
⇒ x = 16500
Therefore Samantha invested $16500 and $10000 each in two accounts.
